What is Vicodin's "main" purpose?

What is Vicodin's "main" purpose? i am prescribed it for a tooth i got pulled. it helps the tooth. but i have a major headache. advil and tylenol work better for headaches..
could it be vicodin giving me a headache? or is its pupose not a painkiller?(like less acetominophine then advil maybe?)

im takin 750m vicodin.
Answer:
The 750 is Tylenol or acetaminophen the first number is the hydrocodone.It is a pain reliever but as it wears off sometimes it does cause a headache.If you can get by with just Tylenol or Advil it would be better.
It's purpose is to relieve pain. If you don't need it and something like Tylonol will work just fine for you, then don't use the Vicodin. It's highly addictive.
It's a pain killer. If you still have a headache while on vicodin, you should consult your doctor. It may just be a side effect, but even if it is - he should be able to prescribe you a different pain killer.
All except what it is touted for on Internet.
Here's a site you may want to look over.
